Hello toms community I have a problem installing windows updates from a clean install of windows 7 x64 windows update downloads 120 updates tries to install them whilst windows is on and then fails requests that I restart my mashine to continue installing updates after restarting it takes roughly 30 minuets to configure/install but once it gets to 120/120 it says windows updates have failed and then reverts all chnages restarts windows and then fails to boot to windows with the screen staying black after the windows 7 loading screen (basically I reformat windows with win 7 from first boot attempt windows updates witch fail try to revert and fail)

Pc specs are as follows
Crosshsir v formula-z motherboard
AMD 8350 PILEDRIVER
SAPPHIRE 7950 OC WITH BOOST
8Gb Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz

No overclock as I don't see the point

Need any other information please ask.

Thanks in advance.

Do you have any additional media plugged into your machine? Remove it if so. Also are the windows updates the first things you are installing. Furthermore is your copy of Window legit?


Try performing a clean boot and then update Windows incase something else is interfering.
You must log on to the computer as an administrator to be able to perform a clean boot.

Follow the following steps to perform a clean boot:

Log on to the computer by using an account that has administrator rights.
Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box, and then press Enter to start the System Configuration utility.
On the General tab, click the Selective startup option, and then click to clear the Load startup items check box...

On the General tab, click the Selective startup option, and then click to clear the Load startup items check box.
On the Services tab, click to select the Hide all Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all.
Click OK, and then click Restart.
Next log into administrator account again and run windows update.

Failing this you will need to do another clean install and make sure windows update is the first thing you install. Another tip is to reduce the quantity of updates that occur. This may help reduce any load issues/interference though windows updates rarely fall foul of this.

Hope this helps :)
